random saturday

Like I mentioned in this post, it was my dad's birthday a few weeks ago, and he's a huge soccer fan (mostly Greek soccer). So I decided to take him to a TFC game and have a day for the two of us to hang out. Well, my dad got sick and so he gave the tickets back to me to take my husband. Since it's also the opening weekend of the EX, we circled for an hour looking for parking, gave up and parked near the Rogers Centre. We walked all the way from the Rogers Centre to the Ex since the buses were rammed and the streetcars were out of service. Once we got to BMO field, the seats were awesome, and I couldn't help but think that my dad would have had an awesome time.

ANYWAY, I had planned to go the the Ex this year, hang out, people watch, play some games and take some pics, so I decided NOT to take my camera. BIG mistake. The whole time I kept thinking "WHY WHY WHY didn't I bring my camera?!?" Just being at the TFC game, walking through the crowds at the CNE, walking along the lakeshore for the first time ever (GASP! - yes I've lived in Toronto my entire life), I would have taken a tonne of shots. So here are the photos I took with my iPhone. Alas, I will go back with my camera so stay tuned for "better" pictures. Because apparently, as Chase Jarvis says, the best camera is the one that's with you. I clearly need to start carrying my camera EVERYWHERE.

So that was my random saturday. Hope your weekend was awesome!

Sorry for the essay!
